Miss Jeanne Moon reverted to type at Hereford after a first victory over fences at Worcester and looks thoroughly exposed. Ucanaver made a bad mistake at the second and was pulled up on her chasing bow at Kempton but she attracted more market support than stablemate Lilith, who finished a well-beaten third that day, and that may be the case again here. HEREWEGOHONEY, twice a winner over hurdles in the spring, will have had plenty of schooling and her yard is still firing in the winners so she gets the nod.
